List of survey sites and focus groups link

I am not sure why this link was over in Deal Talk thread. It is a great list of focus group sites and survey sites in alphabetical order. It has been archived here on slickdeals. The OP put a lot of work into it. She has passed away this month. I know there is another list on the surveys section by another poster, but I think this one has more on it. I wish a mod could sticky this link over here as it would be very useful. Here is link.

Wiki Community BoardThis can and should be used by you to post updated deal information. Be sure to read this because it may contain answers to your questions!

I have not tried all of these sites. But I thought it would be helpful to have a comprehensive list of whats out there. If I got something wrong, left one out or you are having a problem with one of the sites please tell me. I would appreciate it if the survey pros out there would tell the rest of us which are good and which are bad. Ooops I almost forgot. I tried to make sure there are no referral links. If someone finds one please let me know, it would not be intentional.
